Blockwork

Blockwork being built onto the concrete poured foogings ready for oversight etc.

New Garage

Here's the footings taking shape for the new double detached garage.

Airways

These pipes bring air into the old build so these need to be built into the foundations of the new master bedroom.

Damp Proofing and Insulation

Damp proofing and insulation in the foundations and footings of both the master bedroom suite, as you can see here in this picture, and also the garage.

Mesh steelwork

Mark putting mesh steelwork into the foundations to make it strong and supportive. Concrete will be poured on top.

Finally the concrete is laid

After a lot of work, the concrete footings and foundations are finally laid, but before nightfall..!! Such a lot of work goes into the ground then gets covered up! So it's good to take photographs all the way through just to see how much work is in the preparation of the build.
